Hut Master Registration and Training

Our Next Hut Master Training is scheduled for:February 9 at 11:00 AM

The Grand Huts Association Hut Master program is designed to train dedicated volunteers to help maintain the Broome Hut. Volunteers who complete the necessary training are given the title of 'Hut Masters' along with special access to overnight stays. Existing Hut Masters may want to attend the training as a "refresher".

The Hut Master program is integral to insuring all of the systems at the Hut are working properly. Due to the modern systems that keep the Broome Hut operational, regular checks need to be preformed by trained individuals every 2-3 days. (Winter is most critical.) We need your help to preform these system checks in order to prevent major problems from occurring with the various technical systems. This includes snow removal.

The training session takes place at the Broome Hut lasting roughly 2 hours and will teach you the maintenance and operation of various systems at the Hut:

Pellet stove

Start up/ Shut Down

Stocking the pellets

Stove operation and basic maintenance

Generator ( how and when to start, snow removal)

Propane system ( emergency shut off )

Solar and electrical systems

Checking the solar charge for the battery bank

Charging the battery bank with generator

Proper voltage / amperage level

Snow removal from panels

Other systems

Fire alarms

Carbon Monoxide detector

General building maintenance

Composters

Water tanks

Stocking supplies

What should I bring?

Drinking water & lunch. Be prepared to jot down some notes while you are up on-site at the Broome Hut. Many of the systems are technical and require some precision to operate. For this reason, we'd like you to bring something for taking notes during the training.
